A rotated mission drawn from an image

This web application can be used to perform one step in the drone light painting process. The complete process for light painting is documented here. Briefly, the light painting process includes the following steps:

  • Acquiring an image defining the shape to be painted
  • Overlaying that image in Google Earth Pro
  • Manually drawing a path along the outline of that shape
  • Exporting that path from Google Earth Pro as a KML file
  • Importing that KML file into Litchi
  • Exporting that Litchi mission as a CSV file
  • Rotating that mission along the X-axis (Longitude-axis) using this web application
  • Importing that rotated mission back into Litchi
  • Testing that mission using Virtual Litchi Mission
  • Flying the mission while recording a video of the flight with a tripod-mounted camera
